or just talk about the games in general. Is Black Mesa better than the original Half-Life? What is the best Half-Life game? Why are the games still so good? How about the post-soviet setting? How about how cool it is that most of the main enemies are cops and troops?

The gun play in HL2 is weak. Without the gravity gun making up for it the rest of the arsenal is lackluster. The pistol has terrible sound design for a gun you are forced to use at anything medium range. Puff puff puff.

Otherwise it has a fun campaign. Drags in a few places with the urgency of the plot getting slowed down by vehicle segments.

The urban combat against the alien overlords and their cop minions as you spearhead a rebellion against them was great, though.

The Pistol sound really bad and it looks like a toy gun
